Ace Ventura 3
Thy Dungeonman:
Do these sequels suck because Jim Carrey has nothing to do with them, or does Jim Carrey have nothing to do with the sequels because they suck? It's just like the chicken and the egg.
Anyway, I am not looking forward to this movie SO HARD.
jimbunny:

It's probably a little of each. Some movies just don't need sequels. The story has been told, the premise has been fully explored. If you thought it was funny, cool, but more of the same will be just that, more of the same. It will almost always be less funny because it's not original anymore. It's just more of the same.
So Jim Carrey decides not to do it. Then the movie, which would not have been great in the first place, is now even less great because Carrey isn't even in it.
Then some genious in a suit decides "Wait... what if it's the son of Jim Carrey's character?" And rather than pelting him with their coffee mugs, the other suits all go "Yeah, that's sounds great! We will makes lots of money!"
Jimmy the Squid:
First of all, the egg came first.
Second of all the conceptualisation of this film is probably a direct result of Groupthink and will go the same way as the Bay of Pigs and the Challenger space shuttle.* You guys mark my words.
*Two of the best examples of just what Groupthink can result in.
